How Does the Attractive Force You Feel Compare If You

Question 76

Multiple Choice

How does the attractive force you feel compare if you are just outside the event horizon of a massive black hole or of a relatively small black hole?


A) Because of its larger mass, the massive black hole will exert the larger force.
B) As the mass of the black hole increases, the Schwarzschild radius increases linearly but the gravitational attraction decreases as 1/r2. Thus, the larger black hole exerts the smaller force.
C) As the mass of the black hole increases, the Schwarzschild radius increases linearly but the gravitational attraction decreases as 1/r2. Thus, the larger black hole exerts the larger force.
D) All black holes exert a large but equal force on an object just outside the event horizon.
